Saudi man gets life in prison in US bomb plot

A Saudi-born college student was sentenced to life in prison in the US on Tuesday for trying to make a bomb to carry out jihad.

Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari had been convicted in June of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. Prosecutors said Aldawsari collected bomb-making material and researched possible targets, including the Dallas home of former President George W. Bush. (AP)
